At Rogers, we connect Canadians to a world of possibilities and the memorable moments that matter most in their lives. Every day we wake up with one purpose in mind. To bring loved ones together from across the globe. To connect people to each other and the world around them. To help an entrepreneur realize her dream. A sports fan celebrate a special moment.

Rogers Creative, specifically Sportsnet, is seeking a talented, passionate, and creative individual to join our lively team of like-minded designers for a 3-month contract. Your thirst for quality work, current cultural trends, and all things creative is complimented with solid design skills and an exceptional focus on detail.

You possess a strong eye in layout, composition, typography and photography and bring that to all the work you do. Your knowledge of print production file set up and pre-flight is exceptional. Working collaboratively with all members of the team and other business areas will be key to ensuring all our brand offerings in Media and Telecommunications are unified and strong.

The role requires core strengths in the ability to multi-task, troubleshoot, problem solve and self-motivate. This is a fast-paced environment and requires someone with experience and excellence in production work as well as original design—someone who understands deadlines and can pivot quickly. Our creative team carries the principles of a design studio but functions as in-house design. This role will carry a significant portion of more production-based work but requires a designer’s mindset and creativity—the best of both worlds.

Has the ability to conceptualize and execute designs from a blank canvas state

Is able to set and meet independent and group deadlines

Will be an ambassador of, and support network brands and extensions
